This study brings closure to species survival arguments, by specifying via and Equation and its Graph what concentrations of Plutonium are required to cause species extinctions. The key variable is genome size. Amphibians have the largest of all animals, and are already suffering malformations and extinctions. Larger animals, especially carnivores, will certainly be next. Humans will not be immune.

Human Survival on a Plutonium-Contaminated Planet

Hyder, Charles L.

This seasoned journalist uses his own poems as "for instances" to chronicle fleeing the gold-rush frenzy of Silicon Valley for the artistic nourishment of Santa Fe, New Mexico. In the book's running commentary, Scofield, who made a living in Silicon Valley pumping out high-tech newsletters, writes, "Materialistic lust now dominates a once-beautiful setting. My wife and I worked 60 hours each per week for money, migraines and asthma attacks. The spiritual suffering was worse." Stretching fifty miles south of San Francisco, Silicon Valley generates more than a fourth of all economic growth in the United States. Stock options allow MBA graduates to become millionaires within a couple years. Psychiatrists and divorce lawyers are as prevalent as computer programmers and venture capitalists. Section headings summarize Scofield's take on all this: Love, Chasing Dollars, Coping, Getting Out of There, Skirting Death, Springtime in Santa Fe.

<p>This is a character-driven novel, in which place is an important factor. The author interweaves the stories of four characters on spiritual quests which take place alternately in ancient meso-America and contemporary New Mexico. </p>
<p>Due to an uprising of their women in an ancient meso-American village, two jaguar priests find taboos broken and chaos rampant. The four of them rashly promise to return together in the future, reincarnated as the opposite sex. In the contemporary singles world of New Mexico, a Santa Fe channeler, a mysterious obsidian jaguar knife and synchronicity itself help the four reincarnates rediscover each other and become intimate, against a serious-but-playful background of self-help pop psychology, modern relationship issues, urban tension and spiritual healing in the New Mexico mountains. Two of them ultimately find a home in each other and continue their journey in partnership, while the other two are more haunted and unresolved and are finally resigned to their solitary quests. This novel carries a hopeful message; a channeler tells the lovers, "Fear is inappropriate at this time. Be prepared for love beyond your wildest dreams!"</p>
